Some people cannot use their phones for Microsoft Authenticator. There are certain situations where phones with cameras are not allowed. So, the phone is secured and an Apple Watch is used to respond to MFA push notifications.
If support for Apple Watch is removed, it can mean a significant expense for organizations and particularly for contractors that don’t get phones provided to them. It means switching to an Android phone with no camera, most of which are expensive rugged models, or trying to find some other watch that will continue to support Microsoft Authenticator and work with iPhones, if there is such a watch. It can also mean the expense of another monthly phone bill.
Please consider the impact that this will have, particularly with such short notice.
